Softbox

Professional softbox for Bowens Mount Studio Lights

The Yongnuo YN series softboxes are essential tools for photographers and videographers who want to enhance the quality of light in their shoots. Softboxes are used to diffuse light and create a softer, more flattering illumination by reducing harsh shadows and creating even lighting across the subject. Yongnuo, a well-regarded brand in the world of photography lighting equipment, offers various softboxes that pair perfectly with their popular YN series LED lights, such as the YN600, YN900, YN1200, and more.

Why Use a Softbox with YN LED Lights?

Diffused Light: Yongnuo LED lights are known for their intensity, and while this can be great in certain situations, a softbox helps soften that light, which is particularly important for portrait photography, product photography, and videography. The diffused light from a softbox minimizes the risk of overly bright spots and harsh shadows, making it ideal for achieving a more natural, flattering look.
Better Light Control: A softbox shapes the light output from the Yongnuo YN LEDs, directing it where it’s needed. This controlled light spread helps in isolating the subject from the background or reducing light spill, giving the user greater precision over the lighting environment.
Portable and Easy Setup: Yongnuo softboxes are designed to be portable and easy to set up, making them perfect for photographers and videographers working in various locations. Most softboxes can be assembled quickly and attach easily to the LED panel using straps or magnetic edges, depending on the model.

Choosing the Right Soft box for YN Lights

When selecting a softbox for your Yongnuo YN light, consider factors such as the size of the light panel and the size of the softbox. For larger panels like the YN1200, you’ll need a larger softbox to properly diffuse the light across the entire surface. Meanwhile, for smaller lights like the YN600, a smaller softbox may suffice.

By combining the Yongnuo YN LED lights with a soft box, you can achieve professional-quality lighting that is softer and more pleasing, allowing you to create stunning visuals in both photography and video production.
